Electrical issues.

Hey guys, new here read alotta the helpful threads, tips and tricks you guys post and I'm hoping y'all can help me out... So I've been working to get this 88 bronco running, I unseized the motor it was a PITA, and after that my fuel pump stopped priming with the key turn shortly after, I've replaced the fuel pump and ECC relays that did nothing, I've jumped it from the OBD port and it powers on that way but still won't fire off, checked the spark plugs and I'm getting spark. I'm stuck, if more specific details are needed I will be more than happy to supply them.

Try shooting some gas or starting fluid in it and see if it fires. If so, your timing is good. My '85 has two pumps. Not sure if the '88's have two or not. Check your fuel pressure. Should be around 40psi

Yeah I figured it out it was a corroded connection on the solenoid, now I'm having issues getting into gear, thing the T-case is out, think that may have been my original issue with why it stopped driving in the first place, may have replaced a trans for nothing. Live and learn I suppose
